’m going to say it right off the bat: I love New Bombay! Ever since I first tried it a few years back, I’ve always had a soft spot for New Bombay. I have no idea how authentic or how close the food is with real Indian cuisine but I’ve just realized that I’ve been eating Indian food the wrong ... Read More »

Deliboys: Keep the Meat Coming
here are probably two things you need to know about me. First, I’m a lazy driver. I wish I had a driver. I’d get a few more winks and kill less cells with road rage for Manila’s finest traffic. I probably won’t go out unless I really really need to. Or unless I’m really really bored. Really. Second thing, I ... Read More »
Toro Restaurant and Bar: The Deal Grocer Special
’m in pretty much a no-spending budget so I can’t afford to eat out as much as I did. And I’m try to eat my fair share of quality places on a fair budget. One of the deals I found Toro’s Degustation Menu on Deal Grocer. I don’t really know much about Toro, although my sister was saying Chef Sau ... Read More »
Gotti’s Ristorante: Food Sale Gone Bad
K, I know this is a pretty late entry since the Food Sale in Megamall was ended about 3 weeks ago. But yeah, Megamall had a Food Sale for that weekend and it was really the reason why we went there. Unfortunately, it was almost like a big scam. So being the cheap bastard that I am, it took quite ... Read More »
Breakfast at Malcolm’s Deli
e’ve been through breakfast before at Flapjacks. They left me unusually full at an unusually early time of the day because I’m not really used to having a heavy breakfast. But I couldn’t resist when I heard about the best pancakes in Manila is served at Malcolm’s. I know what you’re thinking. Malcolm’s? That place with a 400-peso burger and ... Read More »
Shi Lin: Another One Bites the Dust
ver notice that the Philippines is a trending type of country, especially in the restaurant business? I mean look at the pearl shake phase where you had Zagu being commercially successful, then all those pearl shake stalls mushroomed about the Metro. Then this milk tea craze started with the Serenitea’s that have ushered in stores such as Happy Lemon and ... Read More »
Maimee’s Garden Cafe: Tucked Inside Little Baguio
pparently, there’s been a “secret resto” in the San Juan area for the longest time and I was skeptical. I love secret resto’s and I should’ve known about it, right? After all, I’ve been living in the area for only 20 years now. Still, the only thing that matters now is that I’ve tried the place. So the place is ... Read More »
Cab Cafe: Nothing to Write About
‘ve been having trouble finding a new place to eat because I don’t feel like driving some place too far. I ended up remembering this new place right beside Charlie’s Grind and Grill in Kapitolyo that I keep seeing, but never really stopped to find out what they serve there, much less try their food. No better time than now, ... Read More »
Flapjacks: One Heart Attack Per Day
ou know when they say that you’re getting old when your body clock wakes you up early in the morning? Well, consider me getting old. It doesn’t really matter how late I sleep the night before or how tired I am, I don’t even need to wait for my alarm to play The Beatles’ “Good Day Sunshine.” I’m basically up ... Read More »
Earle’s Delicatessen
guess I’ve eluded Earle’s for the longest time now. I worked for the #2 Player in Makati for quite some time and never had the chance to walk 5 minutes, place an order for a sandwich, walk back another 5 minutes to my desk. My bad. And from the time that I got out, I never really wanted to go ... Read More »
